Content:
- Your paper must have a main idea/thesis/argument. It cannot be a summary of the reading. Your thesis must answer the prompt.
- Your paper must be carefully edited. Grammar, punctuation, and spelling count.
- Cultivate your own voice/style. You will be writing a lot of papers in college, at least four in this course, so find your voice. This means papers by different students on the same prompt should be distinct. It does not mean the papers are about you. Do not write about yourself and do not use a conversational tone or self-references.
- You must demonstrate understanding and familiarity with the required course readings. Papers that do not cite evidence from the required course readings will not pass. This is not really possible if you have neglected to read and cited both readings.
- These are reading response essays, not research papers. There should be no other source material beyond the required course readings; do not summarize content you have read on the internet.
- Papers without citations will not pass.
- Papers using AI will not pass.
